Dalli

Dalli, not unlike Tap, preserves a rough contour and uses irregularities to produce fluid and harmonious lines. In this case, however, the handwriting style is deliberately pushed almost to the point of illegibility in some places. This is primarily implemented by means of a large number of ligatures and alternative letters, which OpenType adds automatically. For instance, there is a ligature nn, which can also be used for nu, un or uu, just as in real life. Therefore ‘Dalli, Dalli’, in two bolds!

Alternate characters and ligatures
To intensify the effect of handwritten type. Dalli contains alternate characters and ligatures, accessible “Contextual Alternates”. However, the characters will not always be replaced, but only in certain combinations. This simulates the irregularity of real handwriting.
